Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin glanced at Bai Yingying, then asked with a smile, "Xiu Xiu, do you like Ying Ying, being with me?"

"Mhm!" Bai Xiuxiu nodded, "It used to be because of my relationship with Bai Yingying that she could stay here, stay by your side and mine! But now that it's all out in the open, since she's no longer related to me, doesn't that mean she has to leave us?"

"Chu Qin, even though Bai Yingying and I no longer have a blood relation, I don't want her to leave," Bai Xiuxiu said, her eyes unexpectedly turning red.

Seeing this, Chu Qin and Bai Yingying exchanged a glance and smiled in unison.

"Bai Yingying, Chu Qin, what are you laughing at?" Bai Xiuxiu sensed something and asked with great confusion.

Chu Qin chuckled softly, "Alright, Ying Ying, stop deceiving Xiu Xiu."

"Okay!" Bai Yingying then nodded and confessed everything, "Xiu Xiu, actually, I and Chu Qin, we're already together!"

"Ah... hmpf!" Bai Xiuxiu's tone rose, her pretty face fell, and she crossed her arms, looking particularly angry.

"I'm sorry, Xiu Xiu!" Bai Yingying hadn't expected such an extreme reaction from Bai Xiuxiu and quickly tried to console her, "I and Chu Qin, we were worried you might not take it well!"

"So you've been deceiving me?" Bai Xiuxiu covered her eyes, her voice quivering as she asked, "I know now, but what about the other sisters?"

"Ah!" Chu Qin was just about to comfort Bai Xiuxiu when he heard this and exclaimed in slight surprise.

Wiping away her tears, Bai Xiuxiu revealed a smile, "Actually, I'm not angry at all! Because it means Bai Yingying won't have to leave me. But Chu Qin, what about the other sisters?"

"That's easy, leave it to me!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

Soon, Chu Qin called all his women, including Tang Yuehua, Er Long Zijie, and the rest, to the living room.

"Chu Qin, why have you gathered us here?" Seeing Chu Qin standing together with Bai Yingying and Bai Xiuxiu, Zi Ji asked, puzzled.

"Huh, Zi Ji, where are Xiao Wu Xueer, Na'er, Long Ling?" Chu Qin inquired.

"I have no idea!" Zi Ji shook her head and looked towards the others.

"They were just in the courtyard!" Longhuang replied, "Perhaps, they went to practice Soft Technique somewhere!"

"Let's leave that be, then!" Chu Qin said lightly with a smile, "Later, just let them know."

"Then tell us, what's this all about?" Liu Erlong asked.

Chu Qin looked at Bai Yingying and Bai Xiuxiu with a faint smile, "There's something I need to clarify, Ying Ying and Xiu Xiu, they're actually not mother and daughter."

"Ah!"

All the women were startled, showing the same expression Chu Qin had when he first heard this news.

"Chu Qin, are you saying Ying Ying and Xiu Xiu are not mother and daughter?" Mei Wu was surprisingly the most agitated.

"Mhm!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Then, what is... Ying Ying's relationship with Xiu Xiu?" Wang Qiu'er asked curiously.

"We don't have any relationship," Bai Xiuxiu actively said, "If I were to say there is a relationship, I'd say Bai Yingying and I are more like sisters, after all, she's twenty thousand years old, and I'm also eight thousand."

"Mhm..." All the women nodded in agreement.

"Additionally, there's something else!" Chu Qin continued, holding Bai Yingying's hand firmly, his expression unchanged, "From now on, Bai Yingying is also my girlfriend!"

Chu Qin had to say it because, in the future, there might be a similar situation that could arise, and getting everyone used to it in advance is always good!

For example... Xu Ying!

"Ying Ying... Auntie, Ying Ying... Sister!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, slightly shocked.

"What's the matter, Yanyan, is there a problem?" Chu Qin asked with a slight smile.

```

"Sure, that works!" Dugu Yan nodded.

"It absolutely has to work!" Bai Xiuxiu, pouting, said, "Even I, Bai Xiuxiu, have agreed. Sisters, how can you disagree!"

"Exactly, since Xiuxiu has agreed, what is there we can't agree to!" Longhuang nodded, "Right, Sister Ying Ying!"

"Mhm!" Lan Jing'er, Bai Chenxiang, and Ye Lingling, among others, responded in unison.

"From now on, you can just call me Ying Ying!" Bai Yingying seemed still a bit uncomfortable and thus replied.

"Now, how can that be!" Chu Qin authoritatively said, "Like this then, besides Xiuxiu and Aunt Mei Wu, call someone sister if she is a sister, and call her little sister if she is a little sister!"

"Alright!" All the women agreed in chorus.

Mei Wu also expressed her agreement. However, it was evident to see that her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were slightly displeased.

"Aunt Mei Wu. Then you remember to tell Xiaowu and the others!" Chu Qin turned to Mei Wu and said.

"Okay!" Mei Wu, thoughtfully nodded her head.

"Then it's settled!" Chu Qin declared, "Longhuang, Jing'er, you two will be in charge of preparing the banquet for the next few days. Firstly, it's time for everyone to gather, and secondly, for Ying Ying!"

"Okay!" Longhuang and Lan Jing'er happily complied.

"Should we invite Yi Chen and Shi Yun?" Lan Jing'er asked.

"Invite them?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow.

"After all, Yi Chen and Shi Yun are your disciples!" Lan Jing'er said with a smile, "But it's fine not to invite them. After all, it is our family banquet."

"Sister Jing'er, I know Yi Chen is that princess, but who is Shi Yun?" Xue Ke asked.

"Empress of the Sun-Moon Empire!" Longhuang replied.

"The Empress?" The women, in unison, exclaimed in surprise. They then turned their gazes toward Chu Qin, which were incredibly meaningful!

"You..."

Just as Chu Qin was about to argue, the voices of Xiaowu, Qian Renxue, and Hulena rang out, "Chu Qin, something's wrong!"

"What's the matter?" Chu Qin's smile stiffened, and with the other women, he turned to look at Xiaowu and the other two.

"Xiaowu, Xue'er, Na'er, where's Long Ling?" Chu Qin asked urgently.

"We, we were just taking a stroll around the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Cult, and then Long Ling disappeared!" Xiaowu said breathlessly.

"What!" Chu Qin frowned deeply.

"How is that possible!" Longhuang said, "Where did she disappear?"

"By the lake to the west of the Holy Spirit Cult, we just went out for a walk!" Hulena added urgently. Her worry was evident.

"We've looked everywhere but found no trace of her!" Qian Renxue followed up, filled with guilt and self-reproach,

"Xiaowu, Xue'er, Na'er, don't panic!" Chu Qin, struggling to control his inner agitation, comforted the three, "Lead me there! Also, Zi Ji Er Long, you two assign others to help search!"

"Okay!" Zi Ji and Liu Erlong, the two women leaders, replied.

"I and Jing'er will send out the word right away, and have the Holy Spirit Cult search throughout the city," Longhuang offered proactively.

"I'll go tell Shi Yun!" Lan Jing'er added.

"Wait!" Just as everyone was about to get busy, Chu Qin called out.
